Rocsi Diaz Promotes Vegetarian Lifestyle In New PETA Ad Campaign

Earlier this week, it was announced that Jay Z and Beyonce were going vegan for 22 days leading up to Christmas, and now Entertainment Tonight’s Rocsi Diaz is promoting vegetarianism by posing for PETA’s holiday campaign.

Wearing nothing but a bikini made out of brussels sprouts, Rocsi poses in her second PETA ad while dishing on how she decided to ditch the meat back in college.

She also revealed in the exclusive behind-the-scenes video that it’s easier than people think to cut meat out of their diet:

“I’ve seen grocery stores change to be more welcoming to a vegetarian’s diet and it’s not as hard as it used to be going to your local supermarket trying to find a substitute. You now have sections in grocery markets that are dedicated to people who are vegetarian.”

Catch the video below:

Would you be willing to change your eating habits to a vegan or vegetarian diet for the holiday season?

I think once you learn the truth about a lot of the meat you eat it will make it easier not to process so much. Pork is my fave I know I know but I only eat it about 4 times a year. I love my pork chops and steaks. Chicken even grosses me out. Fast food. I stop eating MD a few years ago but will eat it every now and then. Once word hit about the chicken nuggets and mc ribb I haven’t been back since. I’m a meat lover but it’s so gross to me now ! I almost have to hold my nose to eat it or I pick over it. I’m certainly trying to eat more on the healthy side but idk about vegan.

For an organization that has been around since the 80’s and has $, their campaigns are so cheesy. I can’t take their advocacy seriously. They care more about popularity and publicity than they do animal rights. You can’t tell me someone over at PETA couldn’t come up with something better than lettuce leaves across Rocsi’s birth canal.

I believe in eating healthy but I don’t think I could completely take my meats, poultry and fishes out of my diet like I need my protein! I understand you need your vegetable but I refuse to force myself to just eat vegetables and that’s it.

YOU sound like MANY insecure little GIRLS or people in general who have to DOWN others to MAKE themselves feel better. And i’m actually not “illiterate” I don’t know what would make a person say such a thing! You must be miserable in your life to allow someone’s “grammar mishap” make you say something so disrespectful towards someone who you know nothing about.

But whatever helps you sleep at night!

Her FIRST statement was wrong. She attempted to correct it. Why are you so mad?

There are a lot of misconceptions about the vegan lifestyle. Yes, while we need protein, meat is not the only source of protein, namely kale, beans, nut butters etc…the list goes on and many of them provide more grams of protein than eating a serving of chicken, steak, or fish could provide. Then secondly, the misconception that “eating healthy cost more,” fortunately for me and many of my friends we are near local farmers markets and I spend less amount of money for food now than I ever did when I was eating money…..not to mention I consume less, because my body is not nutrient deprived as it was when I was eating processed food and meats….but thats just been my experience ; )

This is why I give my donations to the ASPCA and my local SPCA. PETA is phoney as hell and are bullies, all they care about is shock value. They continue to use these irrelevant celebs ( besides tariji p. Henson) who were never vegan to begin with. They need to stop making a mockery to people who really want to benefit animals. It should be about the animals and not a naked z list celeb

This may sound ignorant to some but ima say h e l l no. Especially not for the holidays..so u aint eat meat for 22 days then after that u stuffing ya face with..what did that prove? I can eat more veggies and trade some meats for fish. But to be tryna go vegan cuz rocsi boring self got on Brussel sprouts is a negative. Swear is my rice and pollo. U can have a balanced healthy lifestyle and still eat lean meats. I’m a nurse and vegan diets often lack protein.

What better way to promote being a vegetarian then selling sex lmao not!

For Rocsi, a woman who use to have an eating disorder, I am not surprised shes embraced the vegetarian lifestyle. And Rosci, it wasn’t your body saying gross to meat, it was your mind.

I personally think its silly when people say they are vegetarians because eating animas is wrong and wahtnot. Do they also think its wrong when animals eat animals? Seriously there is this thing called the food chain! meat is good for you too in moderation like everything else.

Black culture suffers from the highest rates of obesity, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. It is the foods we consume that are killing Black people but no one cares.

These animals are unhealthy and you consume the unhealthy meat and wonder why you suffer from so many ailments. I’ve witnessed beef, pork, and chicken carcasses with TUMORS in them. The slaughterhouses cut the tumors out then ships out the rest for you to eat. Many times the tumors are left in and just get ground up and you just spit out the gristle or nasty bits.

This is the realest comment on here. I was a vegetarian for a little over a year. I just went back to chicken– more because I coudn’t get my protein balance right, and I would feel a little weak at times. However, I’m thinking of doing more research to really get my protein right and go back to vegetarianism. Black folks will be the first people to criticize others for wanting a healthier lifestyle, yet we act shocked at the amount of people in our communities who are overweight with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, etc. We need to care more about the way we treat out bodies. Does that mean everyone has to be a vegetarian? No. But I’m sure most people eat far more meat and grains than they do veggies, fruits, beans, etc. 1/2 of your plate is filled with meat, and you think that’s OK because “I can’t go without my meat!” Well, you need to be prepared to go “before it’s your time” if we continue these unhealthy, yet promoted eating habits. No one is going to take care of ourselves but OURSELVES. WAKE UP.

Dude you are SOOO dramatic with your statement: “I can’t go without my meat!” Well, you need to be prepared to go “before it’s your time”

Really, you go before your time just because you eat meat? There is nothing wrong with eating meat. There are PESTICIDES in vegetables and if you REALLY knew what agriculturalist did to the SOIL that your little VEGGIE friends grew from you probably would eat NOTHING and just die from paranoia.

Stop with the hate. People are DIABETIC and have HYPERTENSION because of a POOR OVERALL lifestyle AND diet. Stop with the drama you come across as fanatical.

“The slaughterhouses cut the tumors out then ships out the rest for you to eat. Many times the tumors are left in and just get ground up and you just spit out the gristle or nasty bits”…. gross!when you put it that way, it really makes me think about what I’m eating

Being vegetarian/ vegan is not a cure all. They may lower your risk from getting certain illnesses but it won’t immune you from them. I was so surprise that some vegetarians have weight issues. Different lifestyle work for different people. I personally think you can still have meat in moderation in your diet and still have healthy one.

with the rate that our society is going with GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms), how can you be sure that the meat you love is actually meat?? I think that the scariest part. Don’t you want to know what you’re eating?? Chicken nuggets is a perfect example. McDonald’s lied to us ALL before the truth came out. Having us think we were actually eating full white meat REAL chicken! That’s sad and it angers me that they can lie like that. What else are they lying about and feeding us?

Unless you are growing your food from the ground up. You can say that about anything including vegetables. I got a petition in my e-mail because they are proposing to change apple so they won’t ever brown so it’s not just the meat they are playing around with.

It’s true, you do feel lighter and healthier and your skin feels and looks flawless. I did it for 2 years and also stopped drinking soda. I lost so much weight that I had to start eating meat again to gain a few pounds. It wasn’t easy but it doesn’t hurt to try.

This picture is not flattering at all. I applaud her for living a healthier lifestyle but vegan and vegetarianism does not work for everyone. Do what works best for you and as long as you are healthy, I don’t see the issue.
